Corporate Internal Auditor
Total
(Oil & Energy industry)
October 2008 — Present (10 months)
At TOTAL, the role assigned to the Internal Audit department is primarily to ensure the Group’s financial security, and secondly to see to an economical, efficient and effective use of its resources.
As an ideal basis for investigation, internal audit relies on internal control. In fact, internal audit must foster the development of the company’s internal control culture, namely by :
* making sure the Group is equipped with a high caliber system of internal control,
* identifying regularly all risks that arise out of weaknesses in internal control,
* assisting entities when weaknesses in internal control are revealed,
* developing the managerial skills of auditors and forming a reserve corps of future managers.
Internal control audits are generally triggered by the following factors :
* change : business environment, acquisition or sale, organization, etc.,
* risks associated with the business,
* economic stakes
* proposal by Executive Management. -

The main targets are:
1)Optimise the units at their constraints following the market demand and economics.
2) Give technical support to Operation departement.
3) Propose units revamp to increase the refinery competitivity.
4) Support the energy efficiency program to reduce emission and fuel consumption
Process Engineer are implementing the IWI project (improvement without investment). The target is to increase the revenue of the refinery by 1 Million Euro per year at constant capital cost.
The 1 Million Euro target has been reached for 2004 and 2005
I am one of the Total group Furnace group team leader, the aim is to define good pratices for Furnace management and fuel consumption reductions.

2) Prepare the conceptual phase of the project for detailled Engineering.
I mainly worked on the FCC and vaccum unit revamp. Where unit capacity increase and energy efficiency studies have been carried out and implemented with success.
The FCC capciity increased by 20m3/hr and the refinery EII (energy intensity index) deacreased by 1 point (equivalent to 10MW saving).
In parrallel, I was in charge of the Flare task force, Between 2002 and 2004 the refinery flaring reduced by 30%. The associated saving is 750 000Euro per year. And the CO2 emission saved are equivalent to the emission of 10.000 cars

Ecole du Pétrole et des Moteurs
Master , Refining, Engineering, Construction , 2003 — 2004
The RIG program (RIG for “Raffinage, Ingénierie, Gaz” in French) provides applied training covering all operations in the conversion of oil and gas into commercial products: not only motor and other fuels, but also a great variety of
products for non-energy uses (bitumens, lubricants, paraffins and waxes, solvents, raw materials for chemicals, etc.)
The training covers all aspects of the design and sizing of the installations, their use, as well as their day-to-day operation and their economic optimization.
This training gives access to a broad range of jobs (processes, research, maintenance, operations, scheduling, planning, etc.) in varied sectors (refining, petrochemicals, gas processing, engineering and construction) and enables to be immediately operational in those positions.- Activities and Societies:

Ecole centrale de Paris
Master , Engineering , 2000 — 2003
Being a Centralien, is being a professional with a broad education, a creative go-getter aware of responsibilities, a communicator and a pedagogue, interfacing with international and multicultural realities and bearing a common ethic. The engineer's role of social mediator, as emphasised by the founders of Ecole Centrale, is more pertinent than ever today.

* Increasing a wide range of skills in the spectrum of science and technology
* Developing entrepreneurial spirit, cultivating initiative and creativity
* Connecting to company management and the engineering professions
* Embracing communication and teamwork
* Interfacing with worldwide cultures and realities.
